Pigeon Catching

[Mortblanc]

You guys act like this technique was for use when you had the choice of being picky!

All the talk on this forum about "long pig" and eating road kill and you turn your nose up at a pigeon that has been eating much of the same food you have.

I have taken pigeons like the man on film. I have also caught them using makeshift nets as they flew into confined spaces. I have also taken them off their roosts at night.

Popped a few with .22 and air rifle too. One of the few food scources you can actually take consistantly with an airgun.

Peel the skin/feathers off and roast them on a spit over a low fire.

You can also pen them and raise them for food, free of the "diseases" you are concerned over. Clip their wing feathers and even if they escape the pen they will not be going anywhere.
